Oh Chele! I'm so sorry for your loss! My heart is breaking for you at this moment! This post was so beautifully written and your heart is so open now! I pray that God uses this to minister to others who've experienced these things, even if they haven't lost a child! I pray for God to minister to you and your family as well! Thank you so much for sharing! Blessings from Bama!

I so often see people refusing to turn their life over to Christ because of this false sense that they have to be perfect. Or that their sin is so great that it can never be forgiven. Then I had to realize when I was not transparent in my life, I was part of the problem. When I made it look like that with God everything was perfect & roses then people who did experience failure, hardship or pain would thing they were not doing something right. Which is the furtherance from the truth. In those times of suffering is when we draw closest to the Lord. When we no longer walk with Him but He carries us. And we should be showing people not the perfectness of ourselves but of Him. Because of His perfect love for me, He casts out fear of failure, fear of nonacceptance and fear of imperfection. We have to learn to let go and let God. :)
